Fake Food in your pocket

I have to admit to having a bit of an obsession with fake Japanese food; those incredible plastic dishes that often sit in the windows of Japanese restaurants, showing you exactly what your meal will look like in astounding detail.

It’s the fact, I think, that they sit so wonderfully between mouth-wateringly real, glistening like they’ve just been covered in sauce, and so obviously fake. It’s the uncanny valley of food.

Thanks to a recent online discovery, my obsession with this incredible art form can go to the next level.

Fake Food Japan, a company that specialises in, well, fake food, has started turning their creations into all sorts of nifty plastic (actually, PVC) trinkets and accessories.
